The company was established in 1962 by Chris Blackwell and grew up side-by-side with Island Records.
“Like a close-knit family of wildly attractive, intelligent and anarchic kids, they are utterly independent and quite impossible to separate from one another. But something they have all inherited is Blackwell’s easy charm, his amused and iconoclastic view of the world, his sense of fun and style, his instinct for beauty.” - Conde Nast Traveler on Island Outpost properties
